High bitrate 1080p video for YouTube Premium subscribers

According to an image posted on Reddit by user KZedUKYouTube started displaying the option “1080p Premium – improved bitrate“slightly above option”1080p“. This may mean that only paid subscribers will be able to view videos at this resolution and frame rates above 30fps, but this has not been officially confirmed at this time.

In Brazil YouTube Premium is currently worth BRL 29.90 per month and offers benefits such as ad-free video playback, support for downloading videos, offline access to YouTube Music, support for background video playback, ad-supported and offline videos on YouTube Kids. and more.

YouTube Music will have its own radios
even for free users

Offering additional features, such as playing 1080p video at an improved bitrate, could be one way to get more subscribers to the service, as many ad blockers available today eliminate the need to subscribe to YouTube Premium just to get rid of ads.

We will have to wait and see if the new option is just part of a limited trial or if it will be officially offered to everyone soon.
